installing new SSHD Drive

iMac emc 2210 modeal A1224 SN=W8836042ZE2

I just ordered from ifixit the Seagate 1TB SSHD model ST1000dx001. this was a recommended compatible drive for my iMac. will the install be just a drop in install? do I have to be concerned about the sata bus speeds. The new drive can run at 6gb. I believe my bus speed on the iMac is 3gb. if I need to change speeds, how do I do it?

thanks Dan. Mayer also responded with a positive answer for the SSHD. looking forward to the installation. bought the drive from ifixit. drive should be here 5-26-15. the guide was great and removal was easy and smooth.
